Norway 1920 Post Horn Type

Norway · 1920 · 20 øre

This definitive stamp features the classic Norwegian Post Horn design, one of the world's longest-running stamp motifs. The central design shows a crowned post horn with the denomination '20' inside, surrounded by an ornate frame with 'NORGE' at the top and 'ØRE' at the bottom. This particular issue is typographed on paper with a post horn watermark.

Issued in the post-World War I era, this stamp represents a continuation of Norway's stable and iconic postal identity. The Post Horn design, first introduced in 1872, has been a symbol of the Norwegian postal service for decades.
